Thanks! I did some research on their Barrhaven development and much of it is in the flood plain. Perhaps Fox Run is a better albeit less convenient alternative.

There is also another thread about Caivan on here. I actually purchased a property in the new development in barrhaven. I spoke with the RVCA who did the testing out in the area before giving Caivan the go ahead. If you look at the flood plain map of Ottawa, the first phase of the development is not in it. Cannot say the same thing for their future phases but if you were to buy there, the first phase in my opinion would be the best.

They must have a hard time selling homes. I did not purchase with them, but visited with a friend as he was interested a few days ago. It looks like they've got some sale going on and they've sold a portion of Fox Run to Metric homes which will be building 50ft+ lot homes. We also reviewed the structural upgrade sheet and weren't too impressed with what was included and the lot sizes were very underwhelming considering being in Richmond.

I believe if you're looking in Richmond, check out Cedarstone and Talos. While they are custom homes, their price are relatively comparable.
